JETEX 205 – High-Structure Beaded Specialty Carbon Black for Advanced UV Protection & Jetness

Product Overview

JETEX 205 is an industrial-grade, high-performance specialty carbon black manufactured by Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd. Specifically engineered to provide premium ultraviolet (UV) shielding alongside an intense, jet-black aesthetic, this grade represents the beaded/pelletized form of the popular COLORX 22 powder black. The pelletized physical form drastically improves material handling, reduces workplace dust, and optimizes gravimetric feeding in automated industrial lines.

Characterized by its high structure and elevated surface area, JETEX 205 enables plastic and coating formulators to achieve exceptionally high pigment loadings without compromising the compound's melt flow or processing rheology. It disperses uniformly within polymer matrices, ensuring consistent covering power and structural protection against harsh outdoor environmental degradation.

Key Performance Benefits

• Superior UV Shielding: Formulated to aggressively absorb harmful ultraviolet wavelengths, preventing early photo-degradation, polymer embrittlement, and surface cracking in outdoor plastics.

• High-Intensity Jetness: Delivers a significantly darker, deeper, and more visually striking black color space compared to standard utility carbon blacks (such as ONYX 636).

• Optimized Rheology at High Loading: Engineered with a unique high-structure morphology that permits dense pigment concentration while maintaining fluid processing viscosities and excellent polymer dispersibility.

• Excellent Covering Power: Provides exceptional opacity and light-blocking performance at optimized addition levels, protecting the internal core of extruded and molded articles from sunlight transmission.

Core Applications

• Agricultural Infrastructure: High-durability agricultural films, crop silage sheets, and weather-exposed protective covers.

• Piping & Water Management: Heavy-duty irrigation pipes, agricultural tapes, and drip laterals requiring permanent environmental defense.

• Electrical & Electronics: High-reliability wire and cable jacketing configurations.

• Vinyl & Industrial Compounding: Technical PVC compounding and masterbatch production.

• Surface Finish Coatings: Industrial powder coatings and premium decorative finishes requiring a deep, rich black gloss.

Technical & Material Parameters

Safety, Handling & Storage Guidelines

• Thermal Constraints: Safe for high-temperature compounding; however, the material can burn or smolder if exposed to extreme process temperatures exceeding 400°C (752°F).

• Dust Control & Safety: While the beaded form minimizes ambient dust, care should be taken during bulk handling. Like most organic and carbonaceous materials, it can form explosible dust-air mixtures if dispersed heavily as airborne dust. Avoid creating open dust clouds near ignition sources.

• Personal Protection: May cause mild, mechanical irritation to the eyes, skin, or respiratory tract upon direct contact. Handle with standard industrial protective gear in well-ventilated staging areas.

• Storage Conditions: Store under shade in tightly sealed, dry original packaging. Keep protected from moisture and direct environmental contamination.
